I will need some help here to understand what the process/procedure is.
What I've done is to use the official VirtualBox SVN repository and build
a VirtualBox app out of it with the help of MacPorts. It's not 100%
working, in the sense that it's not self-contained (yet, I still haven't
solved the linking problem with the MacPorts libraries). Which means that
if you want to run it on a Mac, you ''got to'' have the MacPorts
installed. Which I guess it wouldn't be a problem, right? ;)
Somebody over at IRC pointed me to this ticket, and I thought I could
somehow help, I just need to know ''"how"'' I could do that.
Now, I don't know what a "pull request" would mean, as I said I'm as n00b
as they come, trust me. I'll have to hit the books, which is fine by me,
but a bit slower. On the other hand, I wouldn't mind a ''"take a left
here, speed bump in 50m"'' instructions and helping hand... ;)
And I really don't have a clue what "Portfile changes" is...
BTW, I noticed in your comment, that there are two additional ports
listed: Extension Pack (ExtPack) and Guest Additions (GAs). I *cannot*
build the ExtPack, it's closed-source, and I haven't built the GAs (yet,
but I'm optimistic). Just a binary OSX app, which BTW, is at 5.2.18, not
5.1.2. I started at 5.1.2, but the current 5.2.18 builds just fine as
well...

Thanks, appreciated!
PS. In a n00b mistake, I forgot to turn on Notifications, that's why I
didn't reply earlier. Issue was addressed.
